This is a task designed to foster cultural awareness among the students in a multicultural classroom. They will have to identify the cultural/ethnic diversity of their local community, Colmenar Viejo. Then, students will appreciate the contributions of each ethnic group to their community, in particular and the world, in general. They will be able to recognize the lifestyles of the diverse ethnic groups represented in the population of Colmenar Viejo and their classroom. Students will also learn to value the art, literature, and music of their classmates' cultures , and become aware of the daily interaction of people who represent the cultural mosaic of their town.
Today, schools are "melting pots" of different cultures. The students spend long hours together and need a peaceful atmosphere to "live" and learn at school. Respect is important but bullying is a big problem nowadays. This wiki has the intention to make each student feel a very special part of their school.
